This is me waving goodbye to the First Trimester!

Whew!! Our baby doesn't look like an alien anymore! Which makes sense - since - I now eat like a 350lb man. I was watching the show, One Born Every Minute, and this one baby came out and seriously looked like an alien. The forehead area was so flat and long, it was creepy looking. Luckily, the baby was healthy & ultimately, that's all that matters.



Here's what is up with our baby beep at 12 weeks:

"The most dramatic development this week: reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it. His intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his abdominal cavity about now, and his kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder.

Meanwhile, nerve cells are multiplying rapidly, and in your baby's brain, synapses are forming furiously. His face looks unquestionably human: His eyes have moved from the sides to the front of his head, and his ears are right where they should be" - Baby Center


WARNING (this is gross): I have been gagging, or puking up this yellow slimey fluid. Ewww..I know!
